I am today 31 years of age and I am overweight for my height 5 feet "2 inches weighing 275.8. I have started to use this forum on a day to day basis now and I am eating better now for the last two days. I will stick to 1500-1800 calorie a day diet daily. I would like to lose at least 40-50 lbs by Sept 7th which is my hubby birthday and our 3year anniversary. Wish me luck..
